The Galloways are a breed from the rugged terrain of the Galloway region of Scotland. They were first imported to North America in the 1850's. Galloways are moderate in size, and along with their double hair coat, allows them to be more feed efficient, especially in the winter. They are also very thrifty on pasture and will eat a wider range of forages than other beef cattle. Galloways are naturally polled and are generally very docile. Their coats range in solid colors from black to dun to red and white. Galloway steers need no grain to finish, they marble naturally from the inside out, so there isn't a layer of back fat that ends up on the butcher's floor.
